Practice Emphasis on a Home Retreat
Home Retreat is a committed, prescribed period of time when we intensify our meditative focus beyond our usual home practice by:
-
Applying old skills gleaned from residential retreats, such as:
-
Applying techniques learned on retreat in order to support continuity of sati-sampajañña.
-
Deepening intention by reflecting on previously attained wholesome states of mind that were realized on formal retreat.
-
Remembering to restrain the senses (indriya-samvara) thus catalyzing continuity of effort by embracing renunciation (nekkhamma).
